Caerphilly

In the imp: Dark haunting rose. I can definitely smell the amber. I love amber!!

Wet: This is Spellbound, but more rosy. Definite dark rose. I don't generally like black musk, but it works here. Velvet and corrupt.

Dry: Again, Spellbound. But now it's exactly the same. Powdery amber, lovely sweet rose, made sexy and dark by the must. Love it.

Overall: This smells exactly like Spellbound on me. Not really a surprise as both contain rose amber and musk. Except spellbound has red musk and this has black musk. And I love Spellbound. I might get a bottle of this when i run out of Spellbound, just to change up the label.

In the imp: Very good blend. I can smell apple, lemon, and rose! Very pleasant.

Wet: Apple. Smells exactly like Eve did on me. Really heavy apple. No, apple blossom.

Dry: Fading quickly, but I'm a little glad. No rose and no lemon. All apple blossom is nt good for me.

Overall: I was hoping for more rose and lemon, but all i got was apple. And as much as i would like to, I don't really like the smell of apple. Maybe in my oil burner, but not on me.

In the imp: Not really what I was expecting. This is almost all lilies with something light and sweet. The Chamomile, I think. No rose or violets, which is why I got the imp in the first place. I still like it though.

Wet: Light and sweet. Smells like a generic floral. Pretty, and it's just right for my taste, but I've smelled so many similar scents like this one that I'm not thinking anything special about this one.

Dry: Soap and fades to nothing. This really was a nasty strong soap smell for two or three minutes, and then couldn't smell anything at all. Sad, I liked the beginning.

Overall:This sounded pretty. It just didn't work on me. It's definitely lily that turns to soap on me, I know now. I love lilies and especially lily of the valley, but they hate my skin chemistry. Alas, I cannot wear this.

In the imp: I dunno about this one. It smell off. I know it's a voodoo blend and is meant more for ritual than wearing to smell nice. But this smells especially off to me.

Wet: Yeah, it's just off. Nothing is blending, and I'm getting severall notes that just don't fit together, attacking my nose. Wild mushrooms, and mold and cleaner, and I can't even put my finger on most of it.

Dry: Much better. It's dries to a green, light, clean, herby scent...on the surface. I can still smell a horrible mix of things underneath. Don't know...

Overall: Definitely not something I would wear on the day to day, but I'll try it again for it's actual purpose as a voodoo blend.

Overall, it smells like patchouli, orange juice, and I get the strong scent of ammonia. I washed this off immediately. My skin hates patchouli, but I must try every scent, because you never know. But this was a mistake.

In the imp: Sweet minty alcohol. I get a little wood, maybe from the bourbon.

Wet: Heavy sweet sugary alcohol. Like a cocktail. Yummy. I'm feeling sticky.

Dry: Sweet mint. Really doesn't change.

Overall: I like it more than I thought I would. I wasn't sure how I would take the bourbon, but the mint and sugar are YUMMY! And the bourbon doesn't bother me. I really like this.

In the imp: Patchouli

Wet: Actually changes on me. The second I smell patchouli, it's patchouli and I have to wash it off. This is the smell of wet dirt and moss.

Dry: Woodsy and earthy. Can smell the vetiver. Kind of reminds me of church incense in a way. masculine.

Overall: Not my type of scent at all. But a lot more pleasing than my initial reaction. Won't wear it, but pleasantly surprising.

In the imp: Feminine, light, sweet fruity floral. Very white smelling.

Wet: Sweet. Not too strong. Can't really tell the notes apart, they are blended so well. Pretty.

Dry: Ok, this is strange, but did anyone else get violets! This blend creates the light, less heavy scent of violets. I love violets, so this is a plus for me.

Overall: Will definitely use my imp! Reminds me of Marie. Powdery violets. Very pretty. My only problem with this one is that it fades pretty quickly on me.

In the imp: Not really getting any amber. There is definite sweet pea and vanilla.

Wet: Vanilla is amping. And it;s not the good vanilla. I'm getting worried I'll have to wash this off.

Dry: Play-doh. The vanilla killed all I like and turned it to play-doh. Must wash off!!

Overall: More and more often I'm trying scents that I've had to wash off. And not just wash off but take a full blown shower to get it off of me. I really, really, really wasn't expecting that from this scent. I generally like most of the Alice scents I've tried so far. I don't like most vanillas but I love love love amber (and there's 2!!) and I love sweetpea and I like sandalwood in blends. This just turned Snow White on me. The vanilla killed everything and turned to play-doh. I was really hoping to like this one.

I'm so glad I got 2 bottles of this! I love it!!

In the bottle: Sweet Wild Strawberries like my grandmother used to buy me in Poland when I was little. Juicy , delicious, lovely!

Wet: Very strong and sweet wild strawberries. I can smell some grass, but it;s mostly almost candy sweet wild strawberries.

Dry: The wild strawberries are very very light now. I can barely smell them they're in the background. This turns to a slightly bitter weedy smell. It's clean and fresh but a little bitter. Like a wild field in Poland overgrown with weeds. (that I used to visit when I was little.) This is the dandelion sap.

Overall: This scent fades quickly and doesn't have much throw. But, I really love this smell because it's nostalgic for me. It reminds me of visiting my family in Poland during the summer when I was little. I kept reapplying this scent all day and all I could picture was grandma.

I see that some have already received their Strawberry Moon! Pictures Please!!

CCCXIX

In the bottle: Every time I smell it, it smells differently. Slightly woody, slightly foody, a bit of cinnamon. Really it smells like O, but slightly off, as if there was too much of one note.

Wet: Cinnamon cake. Gingerbread. Spicy. Very foody. Now I'm worried that it will burn because one of those, or all of those, makes my skin burn. I'll wait.

Dry: Not burning. Definite cinnamon. It's cinnamon candy or cake. The O is making it foody. I want to eat it, not wear it.

Overall: I Love cinnamon, but don't want to smell like it. Luckily, after about a 1/2 hour it's just spicy O, so I'll keep this. I like the first stages, it smells good, but it's not really something I'd normally wear.

In the imp: Sweet Fig and berries with slight bitterness underneath. Strange, because those aren't the notes listed.

Wet: Sweet. Can't put my finger on why it's so sweet. I guess I just don't know what myrrh smell like.

Dry: Smells like the fruit version of violets. Almost alcoholic fruit punch. It's complex in it's sweetness. Very heavy and close to the skin. Could give me a headache at the end of the day.

Overall: My skin's acting wonky. Everything's turning sweet, even the resin herb aquatics. Strange. I like this, but might be too sweet to wear often.

In the imp: Dry incense. Not burning yet, just the stick, with no particular scent to it. Maybe an orange?

Wet: The incense is light on my skin, but still there. I;m getting something orange peel. Tart ans clean.

Dry: Sweet citrus candy. Lemon or orange peel. Very sweet.

Overall: Completely different from the imp! From dry incense turned to sweet candy. Lovely transition. Will wear this one.

In the imp: I immediately fell in love with this one. It's gentile, light, white, and very clean. Very delicate. Slightly sweet. Exactly as I'd picture a unicorn. It's lovely! Almost ethereal.

Wet: This is light, but it's not fading immediately. Yay! It's one of those scents that seems like it would fade right away, or have a hidden soapy note that just makes me want to wash it off. It doesn't. This one might be a keeper.

Dry: Still light, but didn't fade at all. Has a slight cologne scent. I don't know if it's the linden blossom, but it's a masculine floral. Yet, it's not so masculine that I wouldn't wear it. It's still very white feeling. (White floral perhaps)

Overall: I really like this. A light clean scent that doesn't immediately fade on me is always good. But a lot of the light scents with staying power have white musk, and I'm not a fan. This has something else that stays on my skin for a couple of hours. Don't know about a bottle, but I'll definitely use my imp.

In the imp: It's a pretty color. Almost artificial. Smell mostly cinnamon and clove. I hope my skin doesn't burn, but I don't think cinnamon burns me. I'm not sure of the note that does burn, so I'll give this a try.

Wet: Reminds me of Bengal. Both smell like Orbit cinnamon gum and plastic. Yummy!! I love cinnamon gum.

Dry: Feet! Ewww. I've never smelled this in an oil. I have to wash it off!!

Overall: Was not expecting that. It didn't burn, though, so it's not cinnamon that burns my skin. But, really, feet?!?! Where did that come from?!?! My skin is strange.

In the imp: Light, woody, cologne. It's a pleasant smell, slightly foody.

Wet: Wood. Dry, sweet wood. Nothing really special.

Dry: Light wood and coconut. Very light. It's a scent I shoudn't like, but I like. Strange. I think it's the coconut. I could almost eat this. Edible wood?

Overall: A bit too masculine for me. But, that said, I don't think I'll een give it to my boyfriend to try. As nice as this is, there are other scents I prefer on him. This I might swap.

I have two bottles, but I've only tried one so far.

CDLXXXVI

In the bottle: Reminds me of something. It's sweet, fruity. I don't know. I just know this smell from somewhere. It's yummy, like candy!

Wet: It's Haribo Happy Cola candy!! I want to eat it not wear it.

Dry: It's a bot too sweet and sugary for me. I like the taste of the candy, but I don't really want to smell like it. I feel sticky now because of association.

Overall: Not too sure about this one. Will give it another try. Didn't really smell the O in there, but yummy anyway. Might use it in my oil burner instaed.

In the imp Can smell rose and the red musk. Not too sure about this. I love amber and rose, but I really don't like musk. But it seems to fit here. I have to try it on my skin. Oh, and I love the color, deep mahogany. Most of my other favorite oils are mostly clear or light yellow, but this is dark. Very unlike something I normally like.

Wet: Lovely! Sexy, soft. The amber is there!

Dry: Beautiful! Not what I expected. Smells a bit like Brisingamen, except..redder. It's lighter, probably from the rose.

Overall: I love this! It's just a great blend. Turns a bit powdery, as amber and rose do, but I love that! It's sexy, light, amazing throw. 12 hours later I can still smell it. Probably the longest smelling oil I've tried yet (and was able to sit through without washing it out ) Bit bottle for me!!

I was so excited about this one, but alas, it didn't work for me.

In the imp: Yummy sweet. I can smell the milk and honey, but I get a bit of almond, probably the oatmeal. Smells like Queen of Sheba, but with a bit of green.

Wet: Yep, Queen of Sheba. Almost exactly the same scent. Except that faded almost right away on my skin while this is just morphing.

Dry: Play-doh. The only other scent I've tried that turned to play-doh on my skin was Snow White. I don't know what the note is, but I know it's not milk or honey, as I like them in any other scent and stay true on my skin.

Overall: I just ended up covering the scent up with White Rabbit almost immediately after the dry down. And the play-doh smell went away and White Rabbit didn't morph or smell strange at all. Dana O'Shee smells nice in the imp, but doesn't work with my skin chemistry. Dissappointment.

In the imp: Sweet, berries, some sweet florals. Not cloying. Very pink and yellow. I like it, but have a feeling it won't last long on my skin.

Wet:Tutti-Frutti. Sweet, pretty, but a bit light. I didn't think I'd like a fruit scent so much.

Dry: Can barely smell anything. A bit of white musk and some berries. Very light. No throw.

Overall: Absolutely no staying power. I used up almost the entire imp today just reapplying all the time. And it's pretty enough for me to want to apply. I like sweet feminine scents and this one is perfect. Just, really no staying power.

In the imp: Butter! No, buttercream frosting. That's all I get. Yummy!!

Wet: It is a complex scent, as everyone is saying. The rich butter smell fades pretty quickly and I smell something smokey and herby and dry. Not too sure about it now...

Dry: BO headache! Have to wash it off! Smells like someone who's eaten only Chinese food for a month, excercised twice a day without using deodorant or showering. I fell dirty, even though I just got out of the shower!

Overall: I haven't had to take another shower to wash a scent off since January (Frumious Bandersnatch). And that was just because it burned, not because I didn't like the smell. I guess I don't like the smell of opium, and I know I don' like Jasmine. I think that it just morphed too much on my skin and wasn't the yummy goodness I smelled right out of the imp.

I didn't wear this oil long enough to give this a proper review. It smells very herby, metallic, and alcoholic. It's the smell of aftershave. Very nice smelling, sexy and clean, but very very masculine. And VERY STRONG! It bothered me a bit. I gave it to my boyfriend though, so hopefully he will use it.

Overall, it's just tea rose and violet. From the imp, to drydown on my skin, it does't change. Sweet, light, feminine, and pretty. Nothing remarkable, but I'll definitely finish my imp for those days when I'm sick pf the heavy honey and amber scents, and Helena gets boring.

In the Imp: Sweet, Sweet, Sweet resin! Sweet! I really don't like Dragon's Blood, but I love Amber. Mixed together, it's interesting...

Wet: Definitely resinous. It's not typical Dragon's Blood, though. Not as heavy, and overpowering and hippy shopish. It's sweet though, as it should be.

Dry: Oh, Amber!! Now this is what I like! Heay sweet, golden and slightly powdery. I love it! Very good blend, very good drydown. Has good throw still. And it's very feminine, a bit like O. Very sexy.

Overall: I want a bottle. Sweet and powdery and has good throw and doesn't give me a headache. Finally, Dragon's Blood that I like!
